Hi Imas!

What a cool sword - congratulations on the addition! How old do you think it is?

Also, I have been wondering if there are any geographical, cultural or temporal differences in the origin of different Pira forms? I haven't seen many myself, but those I have seen, seem to fall into two categories: The form you show here, often with a horn hilt, and the form with a hilt of pinuti wood, reminiscent of a cockatua-barong hilt with a dramatically extended dorsal crest.

Thanks for sharing your new treasure!


Cordially, - Thor
